anybody have experience signing independent contractor contracts for jobs. really need this job but dont want to get fucked over and be forced to pay them out if i quit or get fired.

Don't offer yourself on the market if you don't plan to deliver

>>
>>32604479
You have to live up to the terms of the contract. In the situation you mentioned, make sure any repayment is for leaving on your own. If they decide they don't need you anymore, you should not have to pay them.
>>
>>32603507
might just say fuck it and go for it but im have until tmr to do it. might get revoked beforei can sign it
>>

>>32603507>>32607528

heres the contract parts that effect me
>5. BREACH. In the event that the Independent Contractor breaches the terms of this
agreement, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the Independent Contractor shall reimburse
the Company for all reasonable expenses, damages, and costs incurred by the Company, including,
but not limited to, the cost of the airfare and/or lodging arrangements made on behalf of the
Independent Contractor. Such sum is agreed by the parties to be a reasonable estimation of the
minimum damages the company will sustain in the event of a breach, where the precise amount of
such damages is difficult, if not, impossible, to ascertain at the time of the execution of this
agreement.
In the event that a breach occurs, the Company shall provide the Independent Contractor
with an invoice for any and all expenses incurred on behalf of the Independent Contractor within
seven (7) days of the breach. The Independent Contractor shall have seven (7) days from their
receipt of such invoice to reimburse the Company in full.
Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other
remedies available at law, in equity or under this Agreement to the Company for such breach,
including, without limitation, the recovery of damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and
expenses from the Independent Contractor.


and

>10. TERMINATION. The Company, in its sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement
at any time, without cause, by providing seven (7) days written notice of termination to the
Independent Contractor. The termination shall not release the Independent Contractor from any
payment and delivery obligation that has already accrued hereunder or comes into effect due to the
termination of this agreement, including, but not limited to, the provisions contained within
Paragraph 5 of this Agreement.

>>32607774
>Update
my main concern is getting and emial send fast enough that they dont buyt the ticketsbut also doing it tactfully enough where they dont try to send me a bill to fuck me for wasting their time.
>>
>>32607528
dude where the fuck are you
>>
please fucking help
>>
im running out of time please help me
>>
>>32607780
Yeah, I think you're screwed. Basically you have to pay them if you breach the contract (leave) or if they terminate you.
>>
>>32609821
to add... if they don't incur expenses, you don't have to pay. If you gave them 7 days notice of notice of quitting, they have 7 days to send you an invoice. Maybe, just maybe, it takes more than 7 days to send an invoice.
>>
>>32609821
do you think if i leave before they buy the flights ill be ok. im not sure how i approach this. i want to coyly ask if they bought the flights but i dont want retaliation for it
>>
>>32609821
like even if im forced to stay its like 60 days of work this year around a small group of people doing high paced work when i dont even want to do it. plus i gotta fly around the country twice a month. im gonna kill myself
>>
bump
>>
my thing is i could outright ask if its too late to back out but if it is im fucked in multiple ways. or i could beat around the bus to try to find out if certain things have been purchased no/ or am i misunderstanding the contract?
>>
I don't think you want a job where you have the constant worry that your employer is waiting to screw you over
>>
>>32610920
how do i get out of this?
>>
>>32610951
Don't sign the contract.
>>
>>32610956
i already did
>>
>>32610958
Then hope they don't enforce it to the letter. It costs them money to enact legal action and they will probably realize the legal costs are greater than the value of what they want from you. They will however use the contract to bully and scare you into doing what they want.
>>
>>32603507
You learned a valuable lesson, anon. You signed a contract as an independent contractor, but you let the other party write the contract! They are an employer offering a job; you should be an employee of theirs. They did it this way to exploit inexperienced and desperate people like you. You've learned a valuable lesson.
